The laptop I bought was billed as “fair”. As it was guaranteed to be working perfectly in every respect and so I thought “I’m no fashion victim, I’m not proud; as I won’t be using it in public I’m not going to be tech-shamed for having scruffy gear”. So I went for a reasonably priced “fair” item. OK, it showed the effect of blunt force trauma with a minor ding on one corner - and I had to search for that - and a rough patch (and we’ve all had those) on the edge, the b*gger was immaculate. A few strokes of a fine file and the rough bit was gone. Backmarket is a force for good. They help to reduce the shameful attitude of waste we see everywhere around. That they also offer excellent, fully functional products for affordable prices is a bonus. A big one, as it happens and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Great MacBook - went for the Fair Condition and it's fantastic. You'd never know it was refurbished.

The device itself is great. I'm a MacBook newbie so its taken me some time to get up and running, but the MacBook is actually easy to use and the tips section helps with most issues. The machine is in great condition as well.

Honestly, in the beginning I was skeptical about ordering refurbished electronic goods from an online website like Back Market as I was not sure of the kind of quality and efficiency of the product I would receive. However, I have heard lots of positive reviews about Back Market from friends and family and was in need of a new laptop so I ordered the MacBook Air Rose Gold colour in Excellent condition. I was impressed at how quickly the delivery was processed and I received a well-packaged product in just a few days. Had to initialise the laptop, changing the language (it was set to Spanish and I don't know any Spanish so had to change it to an English keyboard) but the excellent condition is true to its word. Not even a scratch or a dent on the laptop and works just as fine as new. Really happy with my purchase and I would definitely recommend this to others looking for a medium generation Mac with efficient features as good as brand new without the exorbitant prices you'd pay for one.

I purchased a MacBook Air M1 (16GB RAM) from Back Market for £499, and overall I’m very happy with my purchase. The delivery was quick and the laptop performs excellently, fast, smooth, and perfect for everyday use and multitasking. There are a few minor scratches on the exterior, but this was expected with a refurbished device and does not affect performance at all. Considering the specification and price, I believe this was great value for money. I would definitely recommend Back Market for anyone looking for reliable refurbished tech.

Fantastic! I ordered the MBA at 4pm and it arrived by 5pm the next day. There’s a couple of small scratches and marks as expected for the “good” condition but barely noticeable. Battery is at 100% too which is a massive surprise. Thanks!

Fab condition. Couple of marks on it but as described and expected. Very fast machine. Got it to help me build a website for my small business and it works exactly as I needed! Only thing I have noticed is I cannot use Touch ID when the Mac is charging / plugged in. Not sure if that is normal for them as I’ve not had a MacBook before. Thankyou!
